Today at Jimmy's

Around 6:30 this morning it started snowing in Idaho Falls. These photo’s were taken at 8:30am. There is a little over 2 inches of snow on the ground, and its still coming down!

April Snow April Snow

For those of you who don’t live in Idaho this is what an typical Idaho Spring day may consist of. If we don’t have snow, we have clear skies and 50mph wind. Its all good, snow in the spring means cold water and Pale Morning Duns in August! All though most of us are anxious to get out and catch some trout after a long winter. Mother Nature likes to give us one or two storms like this one to remind us the Salmon stonefly hatch will not be coming early this year!

South Fork

Flows on the South Fork have begun to rise. We have been told that they are bumping the flows between 5,000 and 7,000 by April 15. Fishing on the South Fork will be more difficult while the water is beng bumped everyday or two. You will have a lot of debree floating down the river as the water continues to rise. This will also  make the water dirty and off color. The good news is that the fish still have to eat. Concentrate on side channels and back eddys. Nymphing and Streamers will produce fish in these type of conditions. Rememebr to use bigger, and brighter flies with these water conditions.  After things calm down with increasing the flows it will only be a matter of 2 or 3 days defore the water is clear and the fishing will pick up tremdously. Stay tuned to the fishing report and be sure to call us if you have any questions or need and up to the minute report.
